Last minute things to do

[bill_schubert]

First:  Finish stage 14 of the Tour. — Check

Second: Finish the woman's Wimbledon finals. — Check

Third:  Take my second bike to the shop to get its tires replaced while I'm gone. — Check

And then Zoe walk and boarding passes and, oh yeah, packing. — Check, check and ...  well not yet.

I'm on track for the trip to see my sister susandennis .  Be there tomorrow afternoon after getting on a 7AM flight out of Austin.  Flying has the potential to be interesting now days.  I've got Pre-check security and only one carry on bag so I'm usually through the airport security and at the gate in about 10 minutes that time of day.  

But with all the news of idiots on planes I'm a little anxious.  The flying doesn't bother me.  I've flown more times than I can count and since I was about five years old.  

I've got my cone of silence kit.  Bose sound eliminating headphones, Kindle, Android tablet, audio book.  The works.  

Fingers crossed the idiots are on other flights.

Pack breakfast foods for eating at the gate!

Yeah. Definitely snacks. I might go to the store and get some more today.

Bon voyage! I look forward to reading about your adventures in Seattle. I feel like we all get to look forward to this vacation from both sides: Susan’s delight at having you, and yours too.

I'm on a flight back to Minneapolis tomorrow night. Non-stop. Fingers crossed! Have a safe trip and enjoy your time with Susan!

Hope your flight was good. Sounds like your Houston trip was. So weird to travel, isn't it?

It is. I found most fliers complying with the mask rule, though some people don't believe it means covering their nose. My travel on Southwest Airlines was excellent; on time departures and arrivals; flew through security with my TSA Pre-Check, got my preferred exit aisle seat on the way down and on the way back had an aisle seat near the front. All in all, I got what I expected. (I know Southwest has had all kinds of problems in the past month, but none of it happened for me. May you have a terrific travel experience and enjoy your time with Susan!

Hope you have a problem-free flight.

Enjoy your trip! Hard to imagine, but you and Susan might have even more fun than us spectators!
